The recent trend in the crypto market is really interesting. Are those who were bearish earlier starting to lose their composure now? The eagerness to get in overnight is truly strong.

Once the market trend reverses, the attitude of market participants can change as quickly as flipping a switch. Those who previously bet on a decline now find themselves in an awkward position — seeing continuous large bullish candles and prices climbing higher and higher. If they continue to be bearish, they might get egg on their face; if they try to chase the rally, they might feel a bit embarrassed.

This is the norm in the crypto market. With high emotional volatility and many participants, the most vocal bearish voices often turn into the most anxious chasing actions when the trend reverses. Sometimes, the market is just so realistic.

Haha, the shorts got slapped in the face, time to eat dirt Human nature makes it so that those who are bearish turn around and become believers This rebound really killed off many short sellers' illusions Why does it feel like those chasing the high are more anxious than the shorts The market is just like that, emotions shift so quickly Shorts: I'll just watch, not entering... Five minutes later: Dad, I was wrong Basically, it's lack of faith, following the wind wherever it blows This is the true rotation of the retail investors Delete the bearish comments from a couple of days ago, hahaha Anyway, either you get burned by the rebound or trapped by chasing the high

Really, those who were cursing loudly in the channel just a few days ago, where are they now? Face-slapping moment, but this is the crypto world—no one can escape it. The most vocal bears are now FOMO chasing the rally—laugh out loud. This rebound definitely slapped a lot of people in the face, feels good. It was just a feint; let's see how it develops next. That group of bears who were shouting short just a while ago are now awkwardly picking their noses.

You were the most aggressive when you were bearish, and now you’re all silent. A few days ago, you were ranting in the group, and now you’re secretly buying coins, huh? Really, every rebound is the most embarrassing moment for these people. To put it simply, it’s a gambler’s mentality—if you can’t afford to lose, you chase high. This trick has no novelty. Getting slapped in the face, indeed, but if you had a bit of resolve, you wouldn’t be like this.

Still watching the K-line at 3 a.m., I found that the price difference of BTC-USDT across three exchanges suddenly widened to 127 basis points. This is the real signal.

These people, they turn around faster than flipping through a book, truly amazing. Where have the bearish folks gone now? Why are they silent? The face-slapping scene, I laughed to death haha. Why are they so eager to chase the high? Weren't they bearish? The market just loves to play this game, really unpredictable. Waiting for the next round of reverse face-slapping, this game never ends. Saying bearish but acting honestly, a typical double standard.
